Chapter 89 Notices and Warrants
On the third day, more than a dozen villages posted notices in the immigration area that is dozens of miles apart. Many immigrants gathered there and listened to the literate people interpreted loudly.
"Mr. Li, it's the leader of Luoning Society... If you ask what Luoning Society is, I don't know. It's probably like an official government office. Haidong Company belongs to Luoning Society."
"Haidong Island is the name of this island in the future."
"What is the company? It is said that it is a big family that is not divided into surnames and is united in multiple villages! The manager is the patriarch. The manager leads everyone to open up land and weave, handles major civil affairs matters, and regularly asks the Luoning Club Master for instructions and reports..."
"College Lin became this manager! Village Chief Qiu in our village is just a mining department director, he is two levels lower!"
"How can Village Chief Qiu compete with Village Chief Lin? Village Chief Lin is a great scholar and has been the magistrate of the county magistrate. Our Village Chief Qiu is just a literacy and knowledgeable person."
"This says that the company is responsible for everything, but only charges 20% of the agricultural tax, without any miscellaneous taxes..."
"There is really no miscellaneous tax? Is there such a good thing?"
"If this is the case, wouldn't we get 80% of the harvest? I remember that in the year when the Song Dynasty had the lightest tax, our own land could only get 70% of the land, and the maximum was 50% or 60% in other years. In the Mongolian Yuan, most of the harvest was levied in a year, and it was difficult to make a living."
"Since the announcement and the social leader's seal is certainly true!"
"General Li is not only mighty, but also benevolent and righteous!"
"Oh, it's true... God bless Lord Li to live for a hundred years!"
"Look, what security team is talking about here..."
"The security team is the elite soldiers under Lord Li. The above said that in the future, they will always stay here, protect the people, and defend against the prodigal family."
"You see, Zhang Lian from Linshui Village has been appointed as the deputy of the security team, and he has reached the top in one step!"
"What? Isn't that Zhang Daren from Linshui Village? Unexpectedly, Lord Li praised him as the deputy team leader when he came! But he is indeed very good at fighting..."
"If you are not capable, can Lord Li let him be the deputy of this regiment? Let me tell you, although Zhang Lian only regards the leader in the Song Dynasty, he is not simple."
"Five years ago, in Liyang, Zhang Lian wore a 40-pound brigade armor and rushed forward bravely, killing the heads of Mongolian households and several real Tartars. According to military merit, he was awarded the title of the capital. However, Liyang was defeated and he scolded Shangguan Wueng, but he didn't get any official."
"Oh? How do you know?"
"Why do I know? I'm here in the battle of Liyang, and I'm still in the same camp as Zhang Lian. It seems that General Li is quite aware of people, so he raised Zhang Lian as soon as he came. There are also recruiting soldiers on these notices, so I'm going to go too!"
"The security team will recruit 500 new recruits, from fifteen to thirty-five, and they are healthy. Start with two stagnant money every quarter, and the food supply is full! I want to go too!"
"It's really that good? I'm going too!"
"Look at this point, it's "Haidong Jianlu". There are thirty-six items in total!"
"What Haidong Jianlu? Read it quickly!"
"Of course it's the law of Haidong."
"Article 1: The murderer dies, steals and pays hundreds of dollars, and the robbers become slaves."
"Okay! These are three rules!" Everyone cheered.
"Article 2: Han people (including Jurchens) resist the orders and taxes, and have a one-year penalty for fighting. For the first time, the death penalty is committed."
"Article 3: Those who are idle and do nothing will be punished for one month. Those who bully the elderly, weak, women and children will be punished for three months."
"Article 4: Han men (including Jurchens) traitors Han women (including Jurchens), and they will be punished for ten years. A foreign man traitors Han women and will be executed by Lingchi."
...
"Article 18: People open up land and the per capita land shall not exceed twelve acres, and the remaining ones shall return to the public."
"Article 19: The village chief convenes the head of households to discuss matters every half month, which is a regular meeting. If necessary, it is also necessary to convene the meeting, which is an extraordinary meeting."
"Article 20: The company convenes the directors' meeting every five days and the village chiefs' meeting every half month. This is a regular meeting. You can also convene an extraordinary meeting temporarily when encountering things."
"Article 21: If you have security guards at home, the village can send laborers to help your family farm for five days."
"Article 22: If a martyr dies in a family, he will never pay taxes. The company will support the elderly and the young, and will start and end well."
"Article 22: In the event of a major war and disaster, the security team believes that the troops are insufficient, and can recruit strong men. The company may also issue mobilization orders to gather the strength of the masses to deal with it."
"Article 24: Build Laojun Temple, worship Yin-Yang Tai Chi diagram, and worship every New Year Festival, and go to market on weekdays, using Laojun Temple Fair as a market."
………
"Article 32: Those who urinate anywhere will be fined three dou of food."
"Article 33: Ultimate loans are strictly prohibited. The interest rate for private loans shall not exceed 10%, illegal income shall be confiscated, and a fine of two years will be fined."
"Article 34: Gambling people will confiscate gambling funds and be fined for one year."
"Article 35: Private salt, iron, sugar and wine shall confiscate illegal income and shall be fined for one year."
"Article 36: All levels of the company embezzle, abuse of law, private affairs, dereliction of duty, deceive the people, and violate regulations, the people may go to the security team to sue the security team, and the security team will be summoned and examined the employees of the company involved. If the security team deceives the people, the people may go to the company to sue the security team, and the company's Public Security Department will interrogate and examine the security team involved. If there is any dispute between the company and the security team, the newspaper will decide."
…………
In one day, more than 5,000 immigrants knew the content of the announcement.
More than 1,800 Jurchen immigrants regarded Li Luo as the "Wolf Lord" and of course they would firmly support Li Luo's policies.
More than 3,600 Han people immigrated and were very satisfied with the announcement. The so-called "no rules" cannot be achieved without order. If there is really no order, wouldn't everyone be in danger? Even if there is no birth, something big will happen sooner or later.
They need officials and officials. They just hope that the officials and officials will be more honest and more useful.
If the government and the king's laws are gone, they will be afraid. Because order and rules cannot be guaranteed, and etiquette cannot be guaranteed, then will it be a mess and lawless?
The "Haidong Jianlu" is a good way to immigrate people to "reduce taxes and lenient governments". They all were under the Mongol Yuan rule when "harsh governments are stronger than tigers, and few people are not slaves." In contrast, Li Luo's "Haidong Jianlu" is simply a very benevolent government.
As for the per capita land that cannot exceed twelve acres, there is no objection. The per capita land that cannot be planted at all. A family of young and old is calculated based on five subjects, which is 60 acres, but at most forty or fifty acres can only be planted.
Therefore, as soon as the announcements such as "Haidong Jianlu" were released, everyone was celebrating and cheering. Almost everyone praised Li Luo for his kindness and loving people, and even said that Li Luo was the stars from the sky.
A few people who understand Li Luo secretly praised him for his brilliant talent.
The only thing that many people disagree is that Lord Li is too kind to the martial arts man. The security team's notice said that if the recruits join the army, they can get two stale military pay per quarter, and they can also be filled with food, vegetables and meat. They can also have two sets of clothes a year in spring and autumn. Once they go to the army, they will have a reward.
Labor forces must also be organized to help military families cultivate for five days.
In this way, a new student earns at least a dozen cents a year, which can almost match the income of most families in a year.
Once you become an old soldier, your military salary will be even more considerable and you can support the whole family.
For a time, many young people went to the temporary security team to register, which made Hu Gu, the new leader, busy.
Zhang Lian, who was appointed as the deputy of the League by Li Luo, was also receiving the young and strong man who was recruiting "security guards" in the temporary league headquarters, and he seemed full of energy.
In the Song army for ten years, with his ability, he should have been commanding the first battalion, and even Du Yuhou could do it. However, the officialdom was corrupt and could not tolerate upright people. He hated Shangguan and could only be a frustrated person and suffered a lot of bird's anger!
But when General Li tried his skills before, he was promoted and immediately appointed as the "Deputy of the League" position, and encouraged him well, and paid great attention to it. He suddenly felt that he was willing to die for his confidant.
This security regiment commanded a thousand troops, which was equivalent to the number of two battalions of the Song army. Then his regiment deputy was only a big deal than the battalion commander.
This time, the newly formed heads of the security group were recruited. The regiment commander Hu Gu, the regiment supervisor Yang Xu, the regiment chief Zhu He, and the regiment deputy Zhang Lian were checking together.
The military pay of the security regiment is high, but it is not easy to get. It would be impossible to just fill in the gaps.
In the next three days, more than 800 young and young Han people who wanted to join the army came to sign up, but only 400 people were screened. The other more than 400 were eliminated.
The proportion of more than 3,600 Han immigrants was already very high for 400 better soldiers. The main reason was that the immigrant group was mainly young and strong.
Among the four hundred people, dozens of veterans of the Song army, Hu Gu and others, after the assessment, they introduced several of the outstanding ones to Li Luo and asked Li Luo to decide.
There were three people who were introduced to Li Luo. One was named Song Ju, who was originally the chief scout of the Song army. He was proficient in surveillance in front of the army and was good at riding and shooting.
The second one is Fang Huan, who was once a crossbow chief in the Song army. He was not only familiar with bed crossbows, but also with divine arm bows, and even... stone cannon machines!
The bed crossbow, the divine arm bow, and the stone cannon machine are the three powerful weapons of the Song army and have certain confidentiality. Fang Huan is familiar with these three long-range attack weapons and is definitely a highly valuable technical soldier.
The third person was named Guan Er, who was once the gunner of the warship of the Song Dynasty naval army, who controlled iron cannons, rockets, and bombing tanks.
Firearms have been used on Song army warships for nearly a hundred years, but they are very primitive and have no standardized mature firearms, and their power is limited, so they are not widely used.
Even now, although the Yuan army navy is equipped with artillery, its main combat weapons are still rods and crossbows, because these weapons are more reliable than the original artillery.
The original artillery is insufficient in power and has poor accuracy. It hits very low on a shaking warship and can only be used as an auxiliary weapon.
Artillery truly became the main war weapon at sea. In history, more than a hundred years later, the early Ming Dynasty. Zheng He's treasure ship voyage to the West was equipped with a large number of the most advanced second-generation artillery at that time.
Although artillery is not a main combat weapon now, this is still a very useful naval technical soldier.
All three of them are of great use, they have found a treasure.
Li Luo and the three of them chatted for a while, and felt that the three of them had no bad mental ability, so they quickly made a decision and started writing a warrant.
"The security regiment has a new crossbow fleet, reconnaissance team, and firearm team! Each team has only 50 people, and four independent teams are formed with the established cavalry team, directly under the regiment headquarters!"
"Song Ju is the captain of the reconnaissance team, Fang Huan is the captain of the crossbow aircraft, and Guan Er is the captain of the firearms!"
Of course, this firearm must be temporarily used with the original firearm today.
Li Luo wrote again: "The reconnaissance team is not equipped with horses for the time being, and only trains the former enemy scouts; the crossbow battalion can be equipped with two bed crossbows, twenty divine arm bows and two stone cannon machines, which are manufactured by Fang Huan's guidance of the Craftsman Department."
"The firearm team is not equipped with troops for the time being. Guan Er cooperates with the Craftsman Department to make rockets, iron cannons, and sudden muskets. When the firearm is completed, the troops will be equipped with troops."
After writing this, Li Luo suddenly discovered that the "Craftsman Department" mentioned twice in the warrant was just an empty stance, and there was not even a single craftsman except for the appointed director.
Chapter completed!
